Homeless man killed in warehouse fire ID'd

San Diego  A homeless man whose body was found in the smoldering remains of a Barrio Logan produce warehouse last week died from smoke inhalation and thermal burns, the Medical Examiner’s Office said.

The victim was identified as Derrick Alan Sallee, 45, who had been living in the Andrew’s Market warehouse with the owner’s permission. He was reportedly an acquaintance of the owners of Antonio’s Produce, which also leases space in the building on National Avenue near Cesar E. Chavez Parkway.

San Diego fire investigators said a discarded cigarette likely sparked the May 30 blaze. The fire caused an estimated $750,000 in damage.
